Swinging for the fences and failing is a loss. Which is fine, if the game doesn't matter ... accepting the walk, in a game that matters, means a chance to win.
The hitter that swings for a home run every time at back walks way more times than not without anything to show for a plate appearance.
The hitter willing to take a ball shows the kind of patience necessary to gt the pitch he's looking for and put it over the fence. Walk a batter and he can steal a base...score from first...in general contribute something positive from his at bat.
The type of hitter 1StrongDufus supports is greed and only out for himself...which is typical of your DU variety Libtard.
The type of hitter 1SD despises wants everyone on his team to succeed. Which is more how Conservatives and Republicans think. Which is why 1SD hates that kind of hitter.
It's like comparing Rob Deer to Paul Molitor and saying Deer was the better hitter.
